THE TRAMP's STORY. -
Let US gather up the tangled and broken
threads and put them together again. We
have not much else left to do now.
Rip was buried upon the hill, with the Car
stones. Shirley and Brownie would have it
50. Not one of that brave old race was ever
laid more tenderly TO rest, either, than the
narneless one
They found his dead fingers clasped about
something beneath the breast of his ragged
coat 1t was small black wallet, carefully
fastened around his neck by a strong cord. 1t
was not opened, but put aside for the time,
and poor Rip was neatly dressed and buried
upon the hill
Brownie grieved greatly about his death.
at was all my folly she said Il wanted
to see the place where we picnicked that
autumn day, just for old times sake, Robert
/ slipped out there early in the morning.
forgot all about the new railroad that crossed
there, though was walking upon the track
I can never forgive myself. Poor Rip to
die in that awful way, and was the cause
of it,
Il don't wonder it seems terrible thing to
you, Brownie said her husband. The
worst for me is when think how frightfully
near it came to being you. That makes me
turn cold. But, Shirley, l wonder what
crazy within got into the poor fellows head
that / was his brother-there when he was
dying, you know"
Robert" answered Shirley, ''it is time now
to open that black silk bag he wore about his
neck. l have kept it. / wish you to look
into it first"
She put it into his hand The wallet con-
tanned dingy yellow leather note book, care
fully protected from damp. There was some
aIc Cd NV yii1 &
sudden exclamation broke from Edgerly's
lips
"Why, Brownie" said he, "here is your
forget-me-not ring, my mothers ring, that
put upon your finger the day we were en-
gagged. What could have possessed the poor
devil to keep that"
Brownie clasped the precious ring with de-
light, looked at it fondly and passed it to
Shirley.
isn't it quaint, pretty thingi" said she.
There's an inscription in it," said Shirley.
Eyes" said Robert "My mother never
would tell me what it meant. I've asked her
many a time. 1t is the only thing l never
could coax her to tell me-"
Shirley read it and started to her feet.
"Read, only read Rips papers," said she.
The contents of the notebook were strange
medley The spelling was as original as the
ideas and sentences were. Preparing it had
been the labor of years. The poor soul had
built it slowly and painfully, little at a
| time, as one might dig his way out through
dungeon walls with his hands Rips literary
accomplishments had been a matter of pride
to him. The book was half diary, half moral
and mental philosophy, from a vagabonds
view. In it he gave such history of himself
as he knew, circumstantially laid down. All
through ran a vein of belief that he had been
born to better things.
Such parts of the strange conglomerate as
belong to this history will be laid before the
reader Not always, however, in the original
spelling That would cause it to be mistaken
for the jokes of some great American humor-
ist. 1t began as follows:
